Anyone Know a trick to removing my rear leafsprings.Its next to imposible to pull these things off the fixed bolt in the shackle pin. Its like the rubber has bonded in the thing
I thought about the torch but ya it has to be the spring beside the gas tank. And I need to save the shackle pin for the new leaf I'm putting in. I'm buying new bushings for the replacement one (used) I'm putting in.

Holy crap let me tell ya. I had one hell of a time to find a used leafspring for an 89 pickup 4x4 Because most 89's are still going strong TOYOTA TRUCKS ROCK!!!!!!!!!

Yeah the rubber, steel sleeve, and bolt rust together becoming one. Torch works best for me.

Yup, a propane torch works wonders for those things.
